Obviously depends on what you're looking for in a buyside experience. If you like a sourcing component (cold-calling, network to no end to bring deals in) and investing in small cap companies it could be the firm for you. I've heard that the experience the first year has a bit of variability to it and may not match up to similar associate positions at other firms. Your mileage may vary though. best
